Places
Capernaum in John 2
kuh-PER-nay-um
This place shows up in John 2:12: “After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
John 2:12
“After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.”
